From Straight Dope: "OK—more than you ever wanted to know about the "I'm with You" guy, from Richard Lamparski's 1986 "What Ever Became Of," vol. 10.
His name was (and still is, for all I know) Stan Ross, born 1926. He became a bit actor and nightclub comic after WWII, though for the rest of his life he had to keep a day job as a garment-district salesman. The "I'm with You" gag originated in 1950 on Jack Haley's show: "It got a laugh and I was paid $75 . . . Right away I got calls to do it."
That became his only schtick: he appeared on the TV shows of Jackie Gleason, Eddie Cantor, Jonathan Winters, Milton Berle and others--he also did some straight character work, right through the 1980s, but not much.
He was VERY bitter when Lamparski interviewed him: "I'm a stooge, a bit actor. The lowest rung on the comedy ladder. All the big-time comedians are sadists and monsters. Berle, Jerry Lewis--all of them except Jack Haley treated me like dirt."
This short clip is from Jackie Gleason's Cavalcade Of Stars October 26, 1951
